So here’s some context. This server was made last summer and has grown to reach over 200 members and so my friend (the owner) is very proud of it. I’m also an admin on the server. The problem is recently a kid joined the server. I know he’s a kid because I’ve talked to him in vc and you can easily tell by the way he types. Plus he told me his age. He barely did anything at first and would just post anime gifs but recently he’s been getting very annoying with spamming.

Another admin muted him but the kid ended up leaving and rejoining to get rid of the mute. (We used a role to mute people) We didn’t care that much and left it with that, making jokes he big brained us yada yada. A day later, the kid then goes on to say the n-word in general chat. We’re pretty lax on stuff so instead of banning him right then and there, we got a bot to mute him instead for a day, and this time it keeps him muted even if he leaves and rejoins. Which he did. 15 times.

During all that, the kid starts to dm me. Saying “I could break through the mute but I respect you” (Reminder, he was still leaving and rejoining to try and get rid of the mute, even changed his name to not get mute) Also yeah he for some reason respects me a lot. To the point, he said he wouldn’t mind if I came and lived with him.

Anyways we continue DMing. I’m trying to tell him to stop with all the annoying stuff he’s done and apologize after his mute. The other admins wanted to ban him but since he was a child, I wanted to give him another chance. He was still impressionable, maybe I could help him be less annoying. But then boom, he starts to talk about IP grabbing the other members but then saying he was too lazy to do it plus he respected me. (His literal words) He also talked about blowing up member’s DMs with alts and spamming them. I was kinda freaking out a little, he was a kid so there’s a good chance he’s just bluffing but I couldn’t just ignore all that. (He even told me how he IP bans by sending links, hoping for people to click on them)

I continue to talk calmly with him, telling him to just not do any of that. Then the conversation changed to an actual wholesome talk about his friends and a Roblox game he loves. Anyways, I realized it was 2 am and went to bed. (He told me it was 5 am for him) The next morning, I checked discord and the kid sent 5 messages to me in the next hour after I went to sleep and another 4 two hours after that. He sent some memes but then started to talk about bypassing his ban again by hacking and taking ownership and making the staff team his toys but he was too “lazy” and “respected” me.

That’s pretty much the latest stuff besides him asking me if I thought persona was garbage because of a joke I made in the server and he said if I wasn’t joking he would have hacked. I don’t know what to do, I know there’s a good chance he’s just lying but I don’t want to cause trouble for others if what he says is true. (Apparently his parents are rich too, forgot to mention that.) Any help would be appreciated.

TL;DR A rich child with tons of free time says he can hack to get owner and can IP grab others.
